Most lenders look for at least 5% of the purchase price, with 10% usually getting you better rates. With the average first-time buyer home in Portsmouth costing around £233,000, that is roughly £11,650 at 5% or £23,300 at 10%. Some buyers also qualify for low-deposit or no-deposit options – we can check what you are eligible for.

As a rough guide, lenders offer around 4.5 times your annual income, so a household income of £52,000 might borrow about £234,000 – close to Portsmouth’s average first-time buyer price.
